I think that's a good idea, Donsig. Could you define "some" for us?

"Some" could be anywhere from 1 to 5 in this case. Actually more if Philly keeps pumping out workers! We could easily afford to settle two in the upcoming four turns of the next turn chat. We could then settle one more during thThurdsay chat if need be.
How does that sound?

As a citizen of Philadelphia, I would appreciate the added multi-culturism. But would our railroads and other improvements stay on schedule?

Settling two foreign workers would not jeopardize our project schedules. I will post a poll about this shortly.

The Story of Phoenatica is a compilation of the turn summaries written during the third term.
Nothing new in them but they are presented together in one thread now.
(I told you I was planning to retire and pursue book contracts!)

I'm looking for a summer home in Kashmir. Any suggestions Cyc?
Here's a map of our provinces. Note that many are still occupied by barbarians. This comes to us by way of disorganizer and Cyc. I shrunk it down in order to present the first (no scrolling needed) overall view of Phoenatica. The map is circa 1300 AD.

Mr. President, this post is more or less a last minute request for information from your office on the state of SKILORD's absence and the temporary assigning of his responsibilities to me. There is a poll asking for public opinion or approval for this action, but there is no end date/time listed and no real course of action to take depending on the results. So I'm not sure wherre the matter stands at this point. In the poll you stated:
quote:
The domestic leader is certainly free to hold a poll concerning the replacement of his missing deputy and I highly reccomencd Cyc for the job. He is qualified and also eligible for the position. Whether he can be acting domestic leader in eyrei's absence and governor of Kasmir at the same time is another question.
I must point out that there is no constitutional basis for the domestic deputy taking over a province when the governor is retired, resigned or otherwise missing. Article 4 of Section F in the constitution (quoted below) is the governor of newly acquired provinces only. We have gained no provinces or cities during this term. We have no constitutional process for replacing missing governors.
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Article 4: The Domestic Deputy is the defacto governor for provinces acquired between election years. A special election will be held for a new governor when a newly acquired province grows to 3 or more cities. [Modified May 24, 2002]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for the support. In the matter of my acting as Domestic Leader in Eyrei's absence and being Governor of Kasmir, I might remind you that beyond taking care of Chondote as Deputy Domestic Leader, I believe posting build queues for New Cormyr was also requested of me. My point being that SKILORD in his capacity as Deputy Minister of the Domestic Department is also the Governor of New Cormyr.
Anyway, I will refrain from posting queues in either situation until a definite course of action can be laid out.

I've been taking a 'roll call' at the start of each turn chat lately so the logs should have that. Once the turns start going it is really too difficult for the designated player to keep track of the comings and goings after that. The turns chats take a very long time as it is. This information could be reconstructed by going through the logs. I can tell you that the regulars (those just about always at the turn chat) are Chiefpaco, Chieftess and Cyc/sike. TBay_Rangers85 is always listed as present but not always active. General Falcon02 comes and goes as does Curufinwe. CIvanator showed up for a bit last night. We also had a new citizen last night, Clark69.

Mr. President. The Department of Foreign Affairs is doing some research to determine the start date of the Babylon-Greecan war. Best we can tell is sometime between 1385AD and 1425AD. One clue is the MPP Babylon signed with Aztecs in 1385AD. The Aztecs declared war on Greece that year. Did Babylon follow, or lead? Did we miss something? Can you help?

Babylon allied with the Iroquois and declared war on Greece at the end of 1370 AD. Babylon signed an MPP with the Aztecs 15 years later.

State of the Phoenatican Union Address
My fellow Phoenaticans. We... are at war. A lone Greecian Infantryman was spotted south-west of Memphis. When asked to leave, the Greeks declared war on us. My fellow citizens, the war has come to our doorsteps. We have taken ever measure to avoid this conflict, including embargos, and giving aid to our allies in need.
The Greeks are desperate. I ask all citizens to be vilagent, and support our nation in the war efforts! Upon Donsig's return, Donsig will also address the nation.
Thank you, and good night.

Our great nation is once again faced with a war we did not start. While we did not ask for this war we will not shrink from an aggressive prosecution of it. Greece and any countries who join it will pay dearly for any transgressions committed against Phoenatic citizens. Our citizens include not only those foreign nationals living in our cities but all our workers and combat troops as well.
While we are determined, we must realize that this war will not be a one sided affair. Greece will resist our efforts and it may take some time for us to build the military strength needed to bring Greece to the terms we desire. Our first priority must be to defence. We currently have workers near Byzantium, Justinian, Chondote, Alexandria and Oka that need protection. The Greeks have cavalry and it is known that they have recently captured Roman workers. There is also the lone Greek infantry unit near Memphis to contend with. The NRS link between Thebes and Memphis (and hence between Asphinxia/Kashmir and Istar/Normandy/Ameri) is threatened by this Greek force. We must also decide on the garrison levels for our cities. Once proper garrisons are in pace and our workers protected any residual forces can be put on the offensive.
We must prepare ourselves for the possibility of a long war. We must recruit more artillery, cavalry and infantry regiments. We must retain our technological lead and push it eaven further in an effort to discover new weapons in order to bring this war to a successful conclusion.
On the home front we must keep the people's spirits high. Securing silk imports from India will help do this while allowing our research efforts to remain strong. While we must devote part of our industrial production to the war effort we must also continue to build factories and hospitals in our key cities.
Finally, we must ensure that our elections for term four and our work on the new constitution proceed unhindered by the war. We must have an orderly and smooth transition from the term three government to the term four government and we must ensure that the new government is not shackled by our current problematic constitution.
